Survival of Species in Fragmented Landscapes
Collaboration and Mobility of Researches
Picture of all the mobility actions during 1998-2001. 
Mobility from:
Leiden
-> Helsinki
Ilik Saccheri visited Helsinki group from 26 October to 8 November, 1998 to work on a number of existing collaborative projects, including training Katrin Schöps in microsatellite genotyping of Melitaea cinxia, being used to study reproductive output and dispersal directly from genetic markers.
Casper Breuker was in Åland from 31 May to 23 June, 1999 to take part in a mark-release-recapture study of M. cinxia.
Leipzig
-> Helsinki
Rosemary Setchfield visited Åland in May and June, 1999.
Karin Frank visited Helsinki group to study metapopulation modelling on 6.9.-8.10.1999.
-> Leeds
An undergraduate student Winnie Eckardt came to receive training and carry out work associated with task 3 from 18 May to 27 June 1999.
Martin Musche, a biology student from the University of Halle (Germany), started a 6 month project (from April to October, 2000) in collaboration with the Leeds team. He is investigating the oviposition preference of Aricia agestis, work which is strongly tied to the work of Ted Bodsworth (PhD student at Leeds).
Rosemary Setchfield visited Leeds for 2 weeks in July (2000) to set up a field experiment for investigating the oviposition searching behaviour of A. agestis, and to provide some training on field recording techniques.
S. Heinz, K. Frank and C. Wissel had two-days discussion on modelling dispersal in Leeds March 2001.
Leeds
-> Leipzig
Larissa Conradt visited Leipzig 19-29 April 1999 and 06-23 December 1999.
Larissa Conradt visited Leipzig in August/September 2001.
-> Helsinki
Robert Wilson was in Finland from 1 to 24 Feb 2000. He spent the first few days at Tvarminne, and from Feb 6 onwards in Helsinki, using the Incidence Function, Virtual Migration and Connectivity models. Since the visit to Helsinki he has been able to assist other members of the Leeds research group with these models.
Helsinki
-> Leipzig
Marko Nieminen visited several German Melitaea cinxia sites near Stuttgart and near Bamberg on March 30-April 1 1999. The trip was hosted by Josef Settele.Bob O'Hara visited Leipzig for a week in June 1999.
Katrin Schöps visited Karin Johst for a week in August 1999 to work on a model of "Metapopulation persistence in a consumer-resource system with locally unstable dynamics".
Mar Carbeza and Atte Moilanen (both Helsinki team) visited the Leipzig team for one week. Atte and Karin Frank discussed possibilities to cooperate on the development of a parameterization module for the MPVA software Meta-X and ended up with a concrete plan for the realization. Dirk Eisinger and Michael Müller (both Leipzig team) gave a quick course on Windows programming with the C++ Builder to Atte.
-> Montpellier
Atte Komonen and Wille Fortelius went to collect insects from French populations of Melitaea Cinxia, in order to compare inbreeding depression from Finnish and French populations.-> Leeds
Niklas Wahlberg worked in Leeds for four weeks in October 1999 (26.9.-24.10.1999).Atte Moilanen and Mar Cabeza visited Leeds 6.-13.3.2002.
Cordoba
-> Louvain
Gabriel Nève visited the group from 9 to 13th November 1998.
-> Helsinki
Gabriel Nève visited Helsinki research group at Tvärminne Zoological Station from July the 8th to August the 8th, 1999. He was doing fieldwork on both mainland and island populations of P. argus, focussing on mark-recapture (over 3000 butterflies marked), tracking individual movements, and taking samples for comparative genetic analyses.
Louvain
-> Helsinki
Sandrine Petit worked in Helsinki for three weeks in January 1999.
Sandrine Petit was in Åland in the spring 1999.
Gwénaëlle Mennechez and two field assistants were visiting the Research Centre of Friendship Park in Kuhmo (Finland) for 1 month 1/2 (from 12th June to 21th July).
-> Leiden
Sofie Vandewoestijne visited Leiden to learn molecular genetic techniques (1.3.99-30.4.99)
Sofie Vandewoestijne was in Leiden for 2 months (from 14th March 2000 to 15th May 2000) studying the genetic population structure of Aglais urticae.
-> Leipzig
Nicolas Schtickzelle visited Leipzig from 3 October, 2001 to 30 January, 2002 to receive training on modelling.
Montpellier
-> Leiden
Mathieu Joron has visited Leiden and given a seminar there. As a result, he has been hired as a TMR post-doc, to start right after his PhD in December 2000.
